Several thunderstorms passed through the area during the night. It rained fairly hard a couple of times. We experienced some lightening and thunder, but no serious wind. It was only serious enough that we had 2 bed mates most of the night.
We left the park at 10:45 and headed for Centertown. We stopped for fuel in Kingdom City. After fueling we parked in the semi parking lot where Kathy fixed us lunch.
We had left our truck and van parked on the RV pad at Kelsey's. She had moved them off the pad so that it was ready for us when we arrived.
Some statistics. We drove the coach 2,421 miles. Because the generator burns diesel out of the main fuel tank it isn't possible to get an accurate fuel mileage figure. I think we averaged about 7.4 mpg. About 1.3 mpg less than we got with our Dutch Star. I guess thats the cost of having 28% (425 versus 330) more horsepower and 40% 1200 versus 860) more torque with this coach. Also, the Ford Flex we pull with this coach weighs 1000# more (4440 versus 3590) than the CR-V we pulled with the Dutch Star. The most we paid for fuel was $5.35/gal and the least was the $4.66,gal we paid when we filled up today.
I didn't read the odometer on the Flex but we drove it about 3,050 miles on our side trips. We averaged 20.9 mpg with it. The most we paid for gas was $4.84/gal, the least was when we filled up Friday, $3.45/gal.
This ends my regular blog posts, although I may do an occasional post concerning repairs to our slide drive mechanism and main awning. Lord willing our plan is to stay here and spend Thanksgiving in Centertown. We will head south right after Thanksgiving.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
